Zheng Dan and Sang Qian are indeed hiding inside. It looks like this is one
of the Zheng clan’s businesses. It was wondering why Zheng Dan kept
trying to get close to me previously, but it turns out that she does have
ulterior motives in mind. Most likely, she was aiming for the 7,500,000

with how businesses operated and the laws of the country.
“Young miss Chu, please wait a moment!” It was then that someone
suddenly ran out. “I am the owner of the Four Seas Casino, Zheng Guanxi.
It’s an honor to have Chu First Miss and young master Zu visiting our
premises.”
There was no way the Zheng clan would allow them to go to the vice
magistrate for this. They were clearly at fault here, and things would be
made clear with just a bit of investigation. On top of that, if the vice
